I have very early childhood memories of loading up the car with pillows, blankets and homemade buttered popcorn, and heading to the drive-in just a half a mile from our house. Waiting in line along the highway, approaching the huge marquee sign with all its lights. Picking just the right spot and attaching the old, brick-size, metal speaker to the rolled down window. That is the very first movie memory I have. And to this day, I still love the drive-in. It is one of the few childhood pleasures that I never outgrew.


Today with DVR's, DVD's and On Demand it is easier and easier to avoid spending the (greatly increased) chunk of cash to catch a newly released film at the theater, but in my opinion....It is still worth every penny! Even with new-fangled home theater technology, there is nothing like seeing a movie on a larger than life screen. It never fails to disappoint me.

So once in a while, break away from the norm and go to an "especially cool" theater, instead of just the local one connected to the mall. Sit in a balcony. Go to a drive-in. Attend a premiere. Wait in line to see an epic. Just go...and make some great movie memories!
enjoy the show...and the popcorn!
